OXFORDSHIRE ARTWEEKS –   I’ll be at home in Jericho and will have on display for the first time the watercolour paintings of Jericho painted for the book ‘JERICHO – A CELEBRATION’  which records the 200 years of Jericho’s life!  The little book will of course be on sale.

In addition there will be oil and watercolour paintings, especially of Port Meadow; limited edition prints of Oxford; some ceramics and some sculpted clay figures in the garden.  Also some clearance paintings and prints – with all proceeds going to charity.  So please feel free to drop in and have a browse!

I’ll be here from 1-6pm on Sat May 16th, Sun 17th,  then Sat 23rd, Sun 24th and Mon 25th – or if these times are not suitable for you, please contact me to arrange a different time.

Artweeks site no 377 at 48 Cardigan St, Jericho, OX26BS, opposite St Barnabas church where there are 20 exhibitors and refreshments!  https://www.artweeks.org/v/valerie-petts-oas      

As well as painting, I’m also happily engaged playing with clay these days!  I’m fortunate to be attending the Drew School of Ceramics where I’ve been learning some hand-building and glazing techniques. It’s never too late to start new things and you never know where they will lead…

Publications

Illustrations for a number of books including: ‘Worcester Wanderings’ ; ‘John Radcliffe and his Legacy to Oxford’ and 4 other books in this series by David Cranston FRCS;  ‘Consider England’ ;  ‘Oxford Words and Watercolours’, (“The book captures the spirit of Oxford with elegance and accuracy” – Lord Jenkins) which is now out of print but is available from Amazon, and most recently the book about Jericho, mentioned above.  Also, although not strictly a publication – last year several of my long-standing ‘streetscapes’ of Oxford were hugely enlarged and made into wallpaper for public spaces in the new Wellford Gardens Order of St John care home in Wheatley.
